Support Program for Black Women Breast Cancer Survivors in Western New York

This study is testing a supportive service program to help Black women breast cancer survivors in Western New York (WNY) adjust to life after treatment. The program includes both group support sessions and one-on-one (1:1) mentoring with a long-term breast cancer survivor. You might be able to join if you are at least 18 years old, live in WNY, have been diagnosed with breast cancer, and have finished your main treatments (like chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery, not including breast reconstruction). The study aims to see how well this program works and if it can be used in other places. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 125 people.

  • Community-clinical linkagesUp to 12 months

    Will assess the number of community-clinical linkages between organizations that support enrollment of breast cancer survivors who are Black into grant survivorship services. This will include formal agreements with at least: 1 cancer center, 2 primary care facilities, and 4 community organizations.

  • Facilitators to implementationAt 6 and 12 months

    Will be assessed using semi-structured interviews conducted at focus groups. An integrated (i.e., both deductive and inductive) approach to data analysis will be used. Qualitative data analyses techniques will be used to identify key themes within and across the interviewee groups. A structured summary template will be created using key elements from the interviewee guides to organize and condense data based on Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) domains. At least two implementation evaluation team members will participate in the initial coding of interviews and synthesis of summary sheets. Summary sheets will be transferred into matrix displays by the main coder (Devonish) and categorized into barriers and facilitators within each CFIR domain for each interviewee group. Group matrices will then be compared to determine cross-cutting themes and explore differences across groups.
